Hayder Kingston, the enigmatic heir to the prestigious Kingston lineage, is known for his sharp intellect, impeccable manners, and a meticulously organized life. As the CEO of an influential publishing house, Hayder has built an empire with his charisma and attention to detail. However, beneath his polished exterior lies a hidden vulnerability stemming from a mysterious event in his childhood that shaped who he is today.

It’s not like you’re leaving anytime soon, right?" But there's a hint of hesitation in his voice.
One day, when you come to finalize your departure, Hayder's nonchalance fades for just a moment. "Are you really leaving?" he asks, his tone unusually soft. "I didn’t think it was this serious." He turns away briefly
